Bond is $5 million for priest accused of rape Dan Horn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Cincinnati judge set bond at $5 million Aug. 21 for a priest accused of raping an altar boy 30 years ago.

The Rev. Geoff Drew didn’t speak as Judge Leslie Ghiz imposed the bond and read the charges against him for the fi rst time in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. She said the high bond is needed because she believes Drew would be a risk to fl ee if he were released from jail.

Prosecutors asked for a large bond because of the nature of the charges and the length of the potential prison sentence if Drew is convicted of all nine counts of rape. He faces a possible life sentence.

“We do believe that if the defendant is released ... he will be a fl ight risk,” said Assistant Prosecutor Katherine Pridemore. “He knows the state means business.”

Drew’s attorney, Brandon Moermond, entered a “not guilty” plea on Drew’s behalf and asked for a low bond so his client, who has been locked up

since Monday, Aug. 19, could be released from jail. He said Drew has no previous criminal record and has strong ties to the Cincinnati area.

The charges all involve accusations by a former altar boy, who was 10 years old when the alleged abuse began in 1988. Drew’s accuser, now 41, told prosecutors the rapes occurred after school hours in Drew’s offi ce at St. Jude in

Bridgetown.

At the time, Drew worked for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati as a music minister at St. Jude and as a music teacher at Elder High School. He was not a priest then, but he entered the seminary in 1999 and was ordained a priest in 2004.

Drew, who most recently was pastor at St. Ignatius of Loyola in Green Township, also has worked at St. Maximilian Kolbe in Liberty Township.

Church offi cials suspended Drew in July when parents of a teen boy complained that Drew had sent him text messages. The messages were not sexual in nature, church offi cials say, but they violated child protection rules.

Following Drew’s suspension, the archdiocese disclosed that Drew also had been the subject of complaints during his time at St. Maximilian in 2013 and 2015. Those complaints involved physical contact with boys, such as rubbing shoulders and patting knees.

Prosecutors determined Drew’s behavior did not rise to the level of a crime, but parishioners at St. Ignatius were

outraged they had not been told about the previous complaints.

In the weeks that followed his suspension, additional complaints of similar behavior came in to the archdiocese and prosecutors. While the behavior described in those complaints may have been inappropriate, authorities said, it was not criminal.

But Prosecutor Joe Deters said the complaint from the former altar boy was diff erent.

The grand jury indictment accuses Drew of raping the boy on multiple occasions between 1988 and 1991.

Fifteen priests in the archdiocese have been accused of sexual misconduct in the past 20 years, but most of those incidents occurred so long ago prosecutors could not bring criminal charges.

In Drew’s case, changes in Ohio law have extended the statute of limitations just enough to allow his prosecution. If the former altar boy had waited two more years to report his accusations, criminal charges would have been impossible.

Ex-death row inmate awaiting deportation to Jordan Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Jordanian national who spent two decades on Ohio’s death row for an alleged murder-for-hire plot is now awaiting deportation, after pleading guilty to new charges.

Ahmad Issa, 49, is being held at the Butler County Jail, awaiting deportation proceedings, offi cials said. A federal appeals court last year overturned his conviction and death sentence, and the U.S. Supreme Court this year declined to consider the case.

Q: &

A:

On Friday, Issa pleaded guilty in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 13 years in Issa prison. He has been incarcerated for more than 21 years, so he served his sentence. But as part of the plea deal, Issa agreed to be deported to his native country.

Issa was one of three people charged in the 1997 killings of Maher Khrais and his brother, Ziad, outside the Westwood convenience store Khrais owned with

Q: Dr. Godbey, I hear crickets in my ears. My physician said there’s nothing I can do about this. Is that true?

A: What you are describing is called tinnitus. Some people describe it as buzzing, hissing, or even roaring in the ears.

Tinnitus is real! It can be irritating, frustrating, and even cause difficulty with concentration and depression. Research shows that people who experience tinnitus often have a hearing loss. When people with hearing loss who experience tinnitus wear hearing aids, they often express relief whether it be total or partial. Certain studies indicate that hearing aids reduce tinnitus because they stimulate impaired portions of the auditory (hearing) system that have been deprived of sound because of hearing loss.

Prosecutors said Khrais’ wife, Linda, off ered Issa money to kill her husband.

Issa then hired another man, Andre Miles, who fatally shot the brothers using a Mak 90 rifl e Issa provided him, according to prosecutors.

Issa, Miles and Linda Khrais all were charged with murder and all faced the death penalty. Khrais was acquitted of all charges. Miles, now 45, was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. Issa was convicted of aggravated murder and sentenced to death.

Miles, who prosecutors said had agreed to testify against Issa, refused to testify at Issa’s trial. Khrais denied hiring anyone to kill her husband.

At Issa’s 1998 trial, prosecutors elicited testimony from two teen siblings who were Miles’ friends. One said Miles told him that “Issa had paid him to kill someone,” according to court documents, and later called and told him he had killed the brothers.

The case made its way to the federal 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, which said the siblings’ hearsay testimony violated Issa’s right to confront his accuser.

“The most merciful thing God could have done for Jeannie,” Scarlet says, “was to take her home. Even if they never come off these streets, ever, if they have accepted Christ, then I know where they’re going. And they sure ain’t going to hell. They’re going to heaven.” ❚❚❚ Today, Scarlet is the person almost everyone goes to for help with those addicted on Cincinnati’s streets. But that didn’t happen overnight.

After starting her ministry in 2015 and driving around Cincinnati on Saturdays in search of lonely fi gures in the dark, Scarlet knows the women of the streets – and they call her. Most have memorized her cell phone number.

Now, offi cers from the Cincinnati Police Department call her. St. Elizabeth Hospital in Fort Thomas calls her.

Scarlet does the work few are willing to do. She asks women if they’re hungry, then feeds them. She asks if they’ve showered, then hands them a hygiene kit prepared by her volunteers. She asks if she can pray for them, with them, then does exactly that.

And “it is only by the grace of God” that Scarlet says she can do this. A calling like no other. ❚❚❚ The calling was quiet for a while. At 23, Scarlet married Bob, and they later started to build their life together in southeast Indiana, in the countryside.

Where a mimosa tree grows in the front yard. Where the breathing comes easier and the grass stretches for miles. So much sky. In the front yard, the Hudsons have a human-size statue of Jesus (startled at night, Bob almost shot him).

They lived comfortably and debtfree. They didn’t have kids. Scarlet worked as the director of education for hair care company Tressa Inc. for 10 years, and before that, L’Oréal/Matrix.

She was busy traveling to New York and Chicago to train sales consultants

and to work in hair shows. She made $72,000 a year, sometimes up to $126,000 with bonuses.

She spent her weekends doing street outreach with a group from her church, until the eff ort fell apart.

And after 32 years in the hair business, God started to whisper to Scarlet.

Faint at fi rst, then louder. Scarlet was away at a hair training. People weren’t getting along. She felt frustrated. “It was almost like I was there but I wasn’t,” Scarlet remembers. The thing she was good at for so many years started to lose its meaning.

A few months earlier, she had broached the subject of quitting her job with her husband. Of doing this street work instead. Bob had urged her to wait until retirement.

She could not wait. She asked Bob again. This time, he relented. Scarlet, then, had God on her side and Bob on her side. It was time.

A little more than a month later, without so much as a day of social work training, she was out on the streets, get-

ting to know the girls, the alleyways they hid behind to shoot up, the intimate details of their lives. ❚❚❚ Call her religious, and she’ll call you on it. She doesn’t like the connotations associated with the word. “We’re just believers,” Scarlet says of herself and her husband. “We believe.” And God always comes fi rst.

She answers a phone call, then goes on. “I’m not saintly,” she says, sitting in her offi ce on Central Avenue in the West End. “I’m not. I can be a real B, trust me.

I’m hell on wheels.”

Like that time she stormed up to a group of “dope boys” – those are dealers – sitting on a park bench and yelled at them to never again sell drugs to one of her girls in recovery.

“You don’t want to mess with me right now,” she remembers saying, exhausted after spending her night in the hospital.

“Don’t you ‘Mama Scar’ me,” she warned, after the girl one of them had sold to relapsed and almost died.

Scarlet and Bob Hudson have been married 34 years. Scarlet says Bob puts up with all her craziness. The couple, who live in southeastern Indiana, never had children. Many of the women Scarlet ministers call Scarlet 'Mama Scar' and call Bob, dad.

Before her hour-long commute each day, Scarlet and Bob pray together and anoint each other

Scarlet and the men, then, have a mutual understanding: You leave her alone. She will do the same.

More than once, when she is with one of her girls and she is with her dope boy, Scarlet has off ered prayer. More than once, the dope boy has stayed and prayed with them. ❚❚❚ Scarlet grew up in Northern Kentucky. The oldest of four children, she was the only girl. She was also the easiest to raise. “The boys drove us crazy.

She never did,” says her 82-year-old mother, Betty.

Scarlet was always the caregiver.

There was that time she brought a little girl from the orphanage home and asked if she could stay.

And that time she gave her kidney to her youngest brother, Stevie.

She has always loved animals. She had horses as a kid. Later, she’d have groundhogs, possums, fl ying squirrels, dogs and stray cats.

Scarlet can hear her mother still: “You started this crap in the fi rst grade,” she’d say about her daughter trying to save everyone, and they’d laugh.

Teenage years brought the usual perils. She dabbled in drugs, though never heroin. She spent some time away from God. She went to nursing school and, just as quickly, left it. In ensuing years, she was trained as a hair dresser, and last year, as a pastor at the Faith Theological Seminary in Tampa, Florida.

But she never forgets the hard times.

It’s a message she repeats over and over to the girls she cares for. She, too, knows diffi culty. ❚❚ It’s Wednesday in late July. Scarlet arrives at the Hamilton County jail and rides the elevator up to the recovery pod for women.

Once the inmates see her, they spring from the cold metal chairs and benches in the common area. For most of them, this is the best part of their week: the chance to pray, laugh, cry with somebody who really loves them.

There are seven women. They all wear tan uniforms. Some have plastic rosaries tied around their slip-ons.

The women talk about the children they miss, about the friends they’ve lost to overdose, about life. Scarlet shares her story, too. Not all of the women are familiar with her ministry and street outreach, or have been told about the time she got away from God and experimented with drugs.

She wants to prepare the women for when they leave the recovery pod and step foot outside the jail, where dope boys will be waiting. One woman cries.

In order to heal, Scarlet tells the women they need to deal with the “core” of their problems. This isn’t drugs or alcohol. It’s trauma they’ve suff ered in their past, some kind of neglect or abuse or growing up in the wrong environment.

Roberta hugs Municipal Judge Heather Russell after the judge sealed her criminal record. Roberta is one of Scarlet Hudson's 'girls,' and is a role model for others. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

“And you’ve got to want it more than anything in your whole entire life,” she says. “And you’ve got to fi ght.” Several of the women cling to every word, their eyes focused on Scarlet. Others twist their hair, distracted. Maybe they aren’t ready yet. Scarlet knows not everyone in the recovery pod will succeed.

They gather in a circle and join hands. Scarlet prays. An inmate, Ashley Smith, rests her head on her shoulder.

“I just want you to know,” Scarlet says, then pauses. “I just want to let you know this is not the end unless you let it be.” ❚❚❚ For Roberta, one of the fi rst women Scarlet took out of Cincinnati’s “pit of hell” and brought home to Indiana to heal, this day is the beginning. She and Scarlet are in a Hamilton County Municipal Court hearing to get Roberta’s criminal record sealed with the help of the Ohio Justice and Policy Center.

Once Roberta’s name is called, she stands before Judge Heather Russell.

They talk about how far she’s come. Ro-

berta is three years drug-free and operates her own cleaning service with a friend. She lives in an apartment in Indiana, located above the barber shop owned by Scarlet’s husband, Bob. She and the Hudsons go to church together.

But one thing stands between Roberta and a clean record – an unpaid fee.

The judge gives Scarlet permission to turn on her phone and show a prosecutor the receipt. Women of Alabaster paid Roberta’s $300 fee the day before.

Moments later, it’s all over.

They call Bob, whom Roberta calls Dad, to share the good news. Then they join Judge Russell in her offi ce. She congratulates Roberta and asks if she’ll be the speaker at graduation for Change Court, a two-year court program that helps victims of human traffi cking and addiction.

Roberta bursts into tears. “I couldn’t have done this without Mom,” she says. ❚❚❚ Scarlet drives back to the offi ce. Mariah, who has been on the streets for fi ve years, is in today. She says she needs to

ditch this city, to fi nd a treatment facility and get her life back.

“OK, so we need to get you into detox fi rst, right?” Scarlet says to her.

“Mhmm,” Mariah responds, nodding her head slowly and twirling her long red ponytail.

Scarlet could call a dozen reliable treatment centers in the area. But she wants one this time that is perfect for Mariah’s needs. She calls Woodhaven, an inpatient drug and alcohol treatment center in Dayton, far from the Cincinnati street life. “And then we’ll get you into sober living for a while. You can get some time under your belt and some stability so that when you get an apartment, you can handle it.”

Mariah, 25, already has an apartment in Norwood, but it’s not safe for her to be there. During her stint in jail, other drug users staying at the place ran up the electric bill that she can’t aff ord to pay.

Scarlet reminds Mariah this is all so she can fi nally learn to be the mother she always wanted to be. She has a 6year-old son waiting to see her.

“That’s most important,” Mariah says.

“Yes, it is,” Scarlet says, and smiles softly.

Later, Women of Alabaster makes sure Mariah is fed. She is given a fresh change of clothes. Her dirty clothes will go home with Scarlet to be washed and returned the next day.

The doorbell rings.

“Hey, babe,” Scarlet shouts to a woman who stumbles inside after climbing the stairs to the living area.

“Hi, Mama,” she shouts, disoriented and out of breath. “My feet hurt.”

“You ain’t got no shoes on,” Scarlet says, her eyebrows raised.

“I know, I threw ‘em at somebody. I forget who it was,” the woman says, though she remembers it was at a nearby park.

They walk to the kitchen, where a volunteer prepares a plate of food: green beans, cheesy macaroni, fl aky biscuits with butter.

The woman isn’t coherent enough to explain what happened to her. She slurs her words. She complains about the police arresting her, about losing her shoes, about the soles of her feet burning.

“Did you step on something?” Scarlet asks.

“Ma,” the woman says, She looks sad.

“I don’t know what I’ve been stepping in. I’ve been running around barefoot all night.

“I just want to go home.”

So Scarlet gets her keys, ready to drive to the park to fi nd her shoes, then to Batavia, where the woman sometimes stays with a friend who takes care of her. Scarlet has to do it now, while the woman in front of her is asking and willing. While there’s still time before she runs off .

“OK. OK. We’ll go, baby.” ❚❚❚ If Scarlet had the resources, she would take her girls a long way from here.

About six years ago, an idea to expand her ministry came to her. She believes God told her nature was the cure, “away from the city, away from everything they’ve known.”

She sat at her dining room table and drew a farm. On this farm, she imagines a two-year recovery program for her girls and a roof over their heads. She dreams of animal therapy with dogs and horses.

She imagines that – after a 28-day detox – the program would help women secure documents like birth certifi cates and access to health care. There would be peer support meetings, life-skills training and art and music therapy.

“They’ll be surrounded by positive infl uences,” in a variety of ways, Scarlet says.

She then would reintroduce family and have the women work with a mentor to fi nd a job, save money and look for

housing and transportation.

A space like this does exist. It’s in Indiana, 25 acres of land and a 4,100square-foot home ready to purchase.

Scarlet believes this place is meant for her, but she hasn’t secured long-term funding. It is not hers yet.

What funds and donations Women of Alabaster has now sustain its Cincinnati location, but it’s not enough to afford this $850,000 dream. She continues to pursue fundraising to expand her nonprofi t.

In late July, she walks through the house on her dream property. Her shoes click and clack on the hardwood fl oor downstairs. Light streams from the windows. Sometimes she visits the property and prays. “We could get eight or nine girls here, comfortably.” In the bedroom near the front door, a house mother might sleep. In the laundry room downstairs, the women can learn everyday tasks, like washing their clothes, which many never had a parent to teach them. In the fall, they could pick apples off the trees in the backyard.

“Can’t you just see a big, giant Christmas tree right there?” Scarlet says, pointing to a corner of the living room.

Scarlet recognizes her hope for the

farm is not for everybody. “But for girls who have run the gamut in other places, this may be their last hope,” she says.

The farm as sanctuary came from years of listening and feeling and learning.

But not every woman wishes to recover here.

Roberta thrived once she got into the Indiana air. Scarlet thinks Jeannie could have found her freedom on the farm. ❚❚❚ For now, Scarlet has her building on Central Avenue and street outreach, which she does with a team of volunteers twice a month.

It’s early August. Everyone gathers at the building before they hit the streets.

Scarlet goes over the Women of Alabaster “covenant” for new volunteers. It includes phrases like “to set aside my own theology, agendas, views, thoughts, to completely empty me of me so that Christ can be revealed,” and “to be willing to listen and learn,” among others.

Scarlet also shares advice that has taken her years of outreach to learn.

Most of the people they’ll meet tonight will be high or trying to get high. “Pimps may be carrying knives or guns,” she warns. “Follow my lead. I know most of them.”

Don’t share your full name with people on the street, she says. Don’t promise them anything. “If you promise someone something and you don’t follow through, you’re just one more person that’s a liar in their life.” Don’t let them borrow your cell phone. “Early on, I made the mistake. I had dope boys calling me at 4 in the morning.”

The volunteers, in matching purple T-shirts with WOA in white block letters on the front, pile into the 15-seat van. In the back are packed lunches for anyone they meet tonight, usually PB & J sandwiches, a granola bar, chips, candy.

Their fi rst stop is under a bridge in the West End. A few hours before, someone saw a man and a woman resting there on a mattress.

They are still there when Scarlet pulls up. The man is sunburned and high. The woman pulls a tank top over her bra as Scarlet approaches. She is alone at fi rst, careful not to bombard them. They nod, agreeing to prayer.

It’s rare for people to reject prayer, she says.

The evening’s message is always a bit diff erent from the one before, Scarlet says later that night, standing outside the Kroger on Warsaw Avenue in East Price Hill. “Whatever the Lord says.”

It will be a routine she repeats over and over in a single night. ❚❚❚ In the space of a month, Scarlet will visit the long-term IV and antibiotics fl oor at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Fort Thomas to pray for patients with substance use disorders. She will meet with nurses and teach them how best to interact with people like her girls. She will worry that a woman with bruised arms doesn’t have a safe place to go after she is released.

Scarlet will pick up a woman from Hamilton County Job and Family Services after visiting her 2-month-old in foster care. She will book her into a hotel room in Indiana because the sober-living home will only accept her the next day. The woman will marvel that it has a See SCARLET, Page 7A

television. She will drive her to the recovery home in the morning.

Scarlet will arrive at the apartment of one of her girls, ready to drive her to court. The woman will text her that she can’t come out, that she has relapsed.

She will answer dozens of calls a day.

She will buy groceries and pay to turn electric on for another one of her girls.

Scarlet may have to use the opioid antidote naloxone to revive someone who overdosed. She may need to call the police on one of her girls who is acting too dangerous and could harm the others.

She may drive a woman to the emergency room after she has crawled, bleeding and broken-boned and barely conscious, to Scarlet’s offi ce. She will persevere even as the woman returns to the man who almost killed her because the beaten woman believes this is love.

She’s done it all before. And she’ll do it again if it means bringing a person closer to God and recovery. As one of her girls puts it, Scarlet will “love them until they love themselves.” ❚❚❚ For the average person, this work is soul-draining.

Once or twice, Bob accompanied Scarlet to outreach. He realized it wasn’t his place. He worries about Scarlet, but she has convinced him that “God’s got her back.”

This isn’t to say Scarlet doesn’t get tired and take the occasional time off when her body signals it’s time to rest.

Last year, pneumonia decided for her.

But something keeps her tethered to this work. They need her out there. She needs them. Even on days when she wants to scream at the sky.

Like in late July, when a few days passed and she hadn’t heard from Mariah, who never made it to Woodhaven.

Scarlet calls. No answer. Minutes later, a response: “I’m safe, Mama.”

Scarlet exhales sharply. “That means

she’s with somebody,” she says. She means somebody she’s not supposed to be with.

“I don’t have a lot of patience with people I think should know better,” Scarlet says. “But I have a lot of grace in me for the underdog.”

If she had the farm, maybe things would be quieter. In her head, it’s where she goes when the world becomes too heavy.

She thinks of the glistening pond.

The red barn, with stacked fi rewood behind it. The open space and the soft grass she could walk in barefoot. They could have horses. And the smell after rain. They could know peace.

Not far from there, she would drive home, where the wind chimes sound sweetly and her American fl ag billows in the wind. Where deer step quietly across the lawn and she pets her dogs, Lenny and Diamond. Where she can be alone.

Scarlet knows she’ll never forsake the building on Central Avenue.

It’s where her girls are. It’s where new girls will be. It’s where they learn to trust. It’s where the home-cooked meals are brought four times a week. It’s where the women can fall asleep to the sound of a movie playing softly instead of the loud whoosh of cars driving by.

It’s where, after days on the street, they can wash their hair.

It’s where everything began.

Two-way granola is great for back-to-school lunches Rita’s Kitchen

Two-way granola

Rita Heikenfeld

I’ve had a pretty wild week.

It started with an email from Jude DeWitt, a Withamsville reader. “I have two elderberry bushes which I discovered have an abundance of fruit ripening quickly! I heard you lament you didn’t have any elderberries. Would you like some?”

The answer was a swift “yes” since the birds devoured mine. Turned out Jude needed an elderberry pie recipe, so we swapped.

I think I got the best of that deal. I’ll be juicing them to make elderberry jelly.

Wild autumn olive berries are ripe, too. Now those of you who are familiar with this invasive shrub/small tree may know these berries are becoming popular with chefs.

They’re a real chore to pick. But worth it as friend and neighbor, Erin, and I found out. Loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, autumn olive berries make a lovely jam.

We also saw edible sumac berries about ready for picking. Sumac lemonade is so refreshing.

Add to that, beautiful chicken of the woods mushrooms, that my friend Charlene’s grandson, Jacob, brought to my door. A wild bounty for sure! Check out my abouteating.com site for photos.

What do these wild edibles have to do with today’s recipes? Not a darn thing, just something I wanted to share with you about my unorthodox life here on my little patch of heaven.

OK let’s get down to the business of sharing recipes. Here’s a yummy granola requested for back-to-school lunches.

And raspberry sorbet for Jordan, a Northside reader. “I need it for an upcoming dinner party,” she said.

Granola is an ever-changing recipe at my house. Pack some for lunch, sprinkle over yogurt. Tweak it anyway you like. Just keep proportions about the same. Make it with fruit, or without.

Ingredients 31⁄ 2 to 4 cups old fashioned oats (these toast better than quick oats) 2 cups nuts, - I used slivered almonds, cashews, chopped walnuts and pecans 1 cup seeds - I used sunflower, pumpkin, flax and millet ⁄ 3 cup pure maple syrup

⁄ 2 cup light brown sugar, packed

1

1 tablespoon vanilla Up to 2 heaping cups dried fruit — I used cherries, golden raisins and diced apricots (optional but very good) Instructions Preheat oven to 325.

Revenge never the answer. These guys know.

Byron McCauley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

I couldn’t blame my friend when he told me about that day he buried his impossible grief in alcohol, got in the car with a gun and went looking for the man who murdered his daughter.

Luckily, the police found the creep fi rst. But my friend has soldiered through life, forever changed, and is one of the fi nest men I know.

Revenge and the thought of revenge is a terrible thing. Counselors tell you to forgive and try to move on the best way possible. Civil rights participants had to set aside revenge for the movement to persist.

Revenge plays well in Liam Neeson movies. The bad guys get their comeuppance and good guys get to be heroes.

In real life, it doesn’t work that way.

Consider what happened in broad daylight in the parking lot of a popular Bond Hill fast-food joint. Police say Deangelo Stone shot and killed Ronald Williams while Williams ate his breakfast. Williams was convicted of killing Stone’s older brother nine years and nine months ago. He served eight years for his crime.

But, a decade of simmering revenge and other things we cannot know culminated in a parking lot killing and Stone in jail.

Consider the other night in a chaotic scene in Winton Hills when a woman, suff ering from a gunshot wound, paced

around a man who was killed, phone in hand, with revenge immediately on her mind. She was captured on video.

“Get out here. He just shot me, and he shot my baby’s daddy,” she said. “Call the whole army. Tell them to suit up and boot up.”

The whole army.

Anger and revenge are usually the fi rst natural emotions in response to a loved one being hurt. However, it’s not a long-term solution.

Cincinnati Pastor Peterson Mingo, who has long been on the front lines preaching peace and love of community, knows. He remembers his mother’s guttural scream in 1958 after learning someone had shot and killed his older brother in front of a West End fruit and

vegetable stand. Mingo was only 9 years old but vowed that he would one day kill the man believed to have killed his brother. Mingo grew up, served in the Marines and eventually met the man suspected of killing his brother. The man asked him for a dollar. Mingo gave him all the change he had.

“He said, ‘God bless you’ and walked away,” Mingo said. “It seemed to me he had suff ered, and whatever had happened to him in those 20-odd years, he wasn’t that vibrant, strong intimidating guy that he was when I was 9 years old.”

Revenge is not the answer because it hurts more than just the perpetrator. It hurts at least two families. That’s what Mingo wants young people ready to act on their worst instincts to learn. Mingo spent four years in prison for robbery, and his brother has been in prison on a double murder charge for 41 years. The

negative family stigma lives for generations, he said.

“Don’t ruin your life. Somebody has already ruined theirs. Do you want to cause (another family) the harm they caused to your family?” he said.

Street justice is as old as America itself and has been known by many different names, both honorable and less so. The Code of the West. Lynch Mobs.

Today, it can be rooted in hubris, the lack of trust of law enforcement or the justice system or something else entirely diff erent. But, on an emotional level, revenge carried only creates a Gordian knot of new problems.

I was moved several months ago when Chris Singleton visited Elder High School to talk about forgiveness. His mother was one of nine people murdered by a self-professed white supremacist in a South Carolina church fi ve years ago.

“When I forgave, I felt like forgiveness was a thousand pounds that was lifted off my back. You know, there’s no more burden than to have to get back at somebody, no revenge that I have to seek,” Singleton said.

That’s hard to hear when someone has rocked your family to its core. But, ultimately that’s how you move on.

That’s how you improve as a community. That’s life-giving, not life-taking.

Conspiracy: 2 murders, 9 years of drug traffi cking Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A man currently in prison for a 2018 murder has been charged again in connection to another homicide from the same year, according to court records.

Kahlia English, 30, of Westwood was sentenced to 21 years-to-life after the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Elijah Wheeler on July 27, 2018, court records state.

On Thursday he was charged with murder for a separate shooting that took place fi ve months prior to Wheeler’s death, according to court records.

Brendan Phillips was the 29-year-old found dead by police in a Mount Airy alley on Feb. 16, 2018.

English is not the only suspect in connection to Phillips’ death. Deandre Shannon, 28, and Trasean Mackey, 25, were charged Thursday with conspiracy in connection to the murder of Phillips, according to court records. Both Shan-

Sports La Salle football hungry to dispel doubters Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

GREEN TWP. — The La Salle football team does not adore the phrase “rebuild.”

The often-used adage is primarily offered in sports to clubs searching to recover from a season where they didn’t meet certain standards.

Adore it or not, the 2018 season was not up to the typical standards associated with La Salle football.

The Lancers, which won three consecutive state championships from 2014-16, fi nished 4-5 last season and missed the playoff s for the fi rst time since 2013. After a season-opening shutout loss, La Salle went on a four-game winning streak. But over the back half of the regular season, the Lancers had a game cancelled and lost their fi nal four contests — three against GCL-South foes — and were left on the outside looking in, less than 1 percentage point from the fi nal playoff spot in Region 8, according to JoeEitel.com.

Now, as the pads clash in an intrasquad scrimmage following a long off season, La Salle is ready to right the ship. No one is more excited for a clean slate than third-year head coach Pat McLaughlin.

“Everybody is ready to get back. It’s one of those things in football, you play once a week and you’ve got 10 games and we didn’t make the playoff s last season so it was a long off season,” McLaughlin said. “We needed it to take a step back and let everybody refl ect on what we need to do better as a coaching staff and as players. We’ve had a good off season, we’ve had a good camp so far, we’re relatively healthy and we’re ready to go.”

The team’s practice has a fun and energetic vibe, made evident by a recent viral video of La Salle High School Principal Aaron Marshall catching a kickoff that allowed the team to end practice.

La Salle will be the under the direction of new quarterback Zach Branam, a junior who is hoping to turn around an offense that was last in the GCL-South in scoring (18.6 points per game) last sea-

son. Branam is replacing quarterback MJ Horton, a dual-threat weapon who has multiple Division I off ers and transferred to Princeton this summer.

“He’s a smart football player, he’s a fantastic kid and he’s become a leader and the guys have rallied around him,” McLaughlin said. “There’s senior leadership around him in guys that have played

a lot of snaps to kind of bring him along and get his feet wet.”

The plan is to have La Salle’s backfi eld help Branam wet his feet in a varsity offense. Starting running back Cameron Porter is back at 100 percent after an injury-plagued junior campaign. The Northwestern University commit battled turf toe last season and ran for only 356

yards and fi ve touchdowns. He’s looking to return to 2017 form, when he led the GCL-South in rushing yards (924) and all running backs in touchdown runs (nine).

“I’m defi nitely 10 times hungrier. Last year didn’t go as planned, but that’s OK,” Porter said. “I’ve got one more year and I See LA SALLE, Page 2B

Mark Mitchell is back on Ezzard Charles Drive.

Mitchell, the father of WNBA star Kelsey Mitchell, is re-joining the Taft High School basketball program as an assistant under head coach Demarco Bradley Sr. Ricky Miller, assistant district athletics manager for Cincinnati Public Schools, confi rmed the news.

Before joining the Ohio State women’s program as an assistant in 2013, Mitchell spent 11 seasons as head coach of the Senators, leading the program to more than 200 victories, eight Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference championships and four district titles. Mitchell’s 2011 squad went 25-1 and won the Division III state championship.

Mitchell was named the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference Coach of the Year eight times and Cincinnati Enquirer Coach of the Year fi ve times. Mitchell

returns to the Senators after spending the 2018-19 season as the head coach of Western Hills. The Mustangs won nine games, matching their total from 2017 and 2018 combined.

According to the Western Hills’ website, the school has yet to name Mitchell’s replacement for the 2019-20 season.

Mitchell will assist with coaching a team that added nationally-ranked freshman wing Rayvon Griffi th this off season. Former Deer Park point guard Mark Wise, a senior, also transferred to Taft this off season and could play a vital role for the Senators. Wise was the Southwest District’s Division III Player of the Year last season. As a sophomore, Wise helped guide Deer Park to a perfect season and state championship in 2018.

can defi nitely show what I can do by coming out here and running 10 times harder.”

La Salle allowed 10 points per game over its four-game winning streak last season, but stumbled down the stretch, giving up 25 per game over the seasonending four-game skid. The Lancers were young on defense, gaining experience that could pay dividends in 2019.

“I think our defense is gonna surprise some people,” McLaughlin said. “I think last year all of those guys played and we knew going into the season it could be tough because you’ve got 4 or 5 young guys that haven’t played in the secondary. I think we’re gonna be fast on defense and we’re gonna be physical.”

the pass as they boast a secondary that is fi lled with Division I talent.

Devonta Smith, Iesa Jarmonis and Jaylen Johnson are all juniors looking to cause headaches to GCL-South quarterbacks in 2019. Smith and Jarmonis have both been off ered by the University of Cincinnati. Smith holds off ers from the University of Kentucky and Minnesota.

Johnson, who was second-team GCLSouth in 2018, was recently off ered by Indiana along with Ohio State.

“In my opinion we have the best group of defensive backs in the state,” Johnson said. “We’re gonna prove it this year. We

can’t get beat; we’ll make good plays. If you do get beat, just forget about it and move to the next play. You gotta have that dog in you and the will to fi ght. We all have that will to fi ght.”

Johnson follows the mindset of many involving La Salle football, that last season’s disappointment was a learning experience for a young squad.

“Everybody’s been talking about how last year we lost to every GCL team and how La Salle has fallen from a three-time state champion and that we’re not good anymore,” Johnson said. “(Last year) we weren’t really as competitive as we were

a few years ago. This year we’ve got something up our sleeves for everybody.

We have something to prove this year.”

Per usual, there are no cupcake on the La Salle schedule. The Lancers play eight playoff teams from a year ago, fi ve of them on the road, including regular foes St. Xavier and Moeller and Greater Miami Conference runner-up Mason.

Mike Windt, a former Elder High School and Cincinnati Bearcats standout who spent the past nine seasons as a long snapper for the Los Angeles Chargers, was released by the team on Tuesday, Aug. 20.

Windt, undrafted in 2010 and signed by the Cincinnati Bengals as a rookie free agent but cut before the season started, has spent his entire National Football League career with the Chargers, which thanked him with an announcement via Twitter from general manager Tom Telesco.

Windt appeared in all 100 games regular and postseason - the Chargers played over the past six seasons, according to the team.

More from chargers.com on Windt’s contributions: Windt was a mainstay on special teams for the Bolts since signing as a free agent in October of 2010. The Cincinnati, Ohio native played in all 16 regular season games in seven of his nine career seasons, including the last six years.

Windt was part of a unit that featured Chargers career punting yardage record-holder Mike Scifres, single-season fi eld goals made record-holder Nick

Do we even realize how great it is to have

The evening is a busy time at the United Dairy Farmers convenience stores of Cincinnati, when families stroll or drive down to the store in their neighborhood and treat themselves to a cone or malt at the ice cream counter.

But that’s just the beginning of the possibilities. You want a banana split for breakfast? Yes, that’s a thing you can do. Can’t sleep? You could go to a UDF at midnight or 4 a.m. and get a hot fudge sundae. Or a root beer fl oat.

Think about that. A hand-dipped sundae, with hot fudge (which UDF makes in-house, just like the ice cream) in the dead middle of the night. You can even get butter-roasted pecans on top of it.

Unique, Unsung, Ubiquitous Dairy Farmers Here in Cincinnati, we may be prouder of Graeter’s, love to argue whether Aglamesis is better, become enamored of the latest gelato place. But UDF has something none of them do: An ice cream dip counter that is probably not more than 5 or 10 minutes from your house or offi ce and is open, in most locations, 24 hours a day. There are 108 locations in Greater Cincinnati. Most are in residential neighborhoods.

What’s more, it’s good ice cream, made in their Norwood plant, the same place Carl Lindner Sr. started the company in 1940, over 75 years ago.

“The ice cream is central to who we are. Our identity revolves around it,” said Brad Lindner, CEO of UDF and third-generation owner. His father, Robert Lindner, who’s still alive, ran it for many years. The best-known Lindner, Carl Jr., was Robert’s brother.

The ice cream emphasis makes UDF diff erent from most convenience stores around the country. A convenience store chain called Stewart’s in upstate New York serves ice cream, but they’re not open 24 hours. High’s of Maryland is

another.

“There are 153,000 convenience stores in the country and a small percentage are as focused on ice cream as UDF,” said Jeff Lenard, vice president for strategic industry initiatives of the National Association of Convenience Stores.

While many c-stores (that’s what they call them in the industry) are regional and associated with a particular city, UDF’s dip side is what gives UDF its emotional pull and loyalty from Cincinnati. There’s a continuity that keeps things anchored in an industry that changes all the time. “We’ve found there is a tradition. People who came in as

kids bring their kids in,” said Lindner.

It’s what makes UDF a Cincinnati touchstone, something more than a gas station or place to buy cigarettes and chips.

How the ice cream tradition began They’ve had ice cream from the beginning, ever since Carl Lindner Sr. decided to save their milk customers money on milk by opening stores instead of delivering to doors. (If only they’d hung on to delivery for a few decades, they’d be right in step now.) People originally brought their bowls to the store to get them fi lled. Later, they came up with something they called a “walking sun-

dae,” served in a bowl they could take with them, said Lindner.

Then came all the standard soda shoppe standards: splits, malts, shakes and ice cream sodas. “We don’t sell many sodas these days,” said Lindner.

But they still have them. They even still have nectar sodas, an old-fashioned, sweet almond-ish fl avor that is probably pure nostalgia if you’re 75 years old.

And they have bright green dinosaur egg ice cream, which will one day be pure nostalgia if you are currently 7 years old.

News you can use: They call the ice cream counter “dipside.” It’s useful for See UDF, Page 4B

making UDF a destination and bringing people in to buy gas and other items. But it’s profi table for the company, despite its complications.

There’s a lot to remember. How to make a turtle sundae , an ice cream soda or a fl oat. How to dip a pretty cone. At some of the bigger locations, there are 30 fl avors in the dipside freezers. There will be 60 in packages. “We use the store to try out new fl avors.” said Lindner, who trusts customers more than his own tastes. “I’m kind of a good barometer,” he said. “What I like doesn’t sell.”

The ice cream isn’t super-premium like Graeter’s or Haagen Dazs. Those brands have a very high butterfat percentage, and a limited amount of air whipped in, which makes them denser and super-smooth. UDF’s is delicious, too, but with a slightly diff erent texture.

UDF brand is fairly light and airy. Their Homemade brand is closer to premium, with less air added and more natural ingredients used.

While Graeter’s makes ice cream in batches, which is the old-fashioned way to do it, UDF uses a continuous freezer, how most ice cream is made these days.

Quoc Tra, director of research and development for UDF, described how it works. A long cylinder is surrounded by very cold liquid ammonia. The mix of cream and milk and sugar goes in at one end and fl ows through. It freezes on the outside and is constantly scraped into the middle, coming out the end as ice cream. Tra describes it as a river with tributaries.

There is an existential sadness to the process of making ice cream. “It will never be as good as it is straight out of the freezer, said Tra. “That’s when the crystals are smallest. They will only get bigger.” He gave me some of their peanut butter chocolate chip to try in its newborn state, before it had been frozen in the carton at 20 below with a 20mile-an-hour wind. Indeed, it had a vel-

MADISON SCHMIDT FOR THE ENQUIRER

Things I like at UDF The turtle sundae. I’ve tried many. It’s the best. They make their own caramel and hot fudge sauce in the Norwood plant.

Their strawberry Homemade has only four ingredients: strawberries (they make some into a puree, some stay in pieces), milk, cream and sugar. It’s close to what I’ve made in a hand-cranked machine.

The chocolate ice cream: milk chocolate, but a rich milk chocolate.

An ice cream soda: Last time I ordered one, the kids behind the counter weren’t sure what it was or how to make

vety mouthfeel to die for.

In the convenience store category, adapting is everything. UDF is adding more grab-and-go sandwiches, cut-up fruit. They are also building bigger

it. But they fi gured it out, and I enjoy the old-fashioned treat.

Malts: They do very malty malts. It’s not as good with milder flavors like caramel, but very robust and good with chocolate.

Black walnut: It’s hard to fi nd this nostalgic classic. Theirs is very naturaltasting.

Peach: The best-selling ice cream during the three months it’s in season.

They have their own peach suppliers and buy peaches a year ahead to make sure they have what they need.

Cookies n Cream: It’s their best-selling flavor on dipside.

COMMUNITY NEWS Mary Lee Bogenschutz Day celebrated in Delhi Township It was offi cially Mary Lee Bogenschutz Day on July 28.

This was proclaimed by the Trustees of Delhi Township to honor Miss Mary Lee, as she is often called, as she celebrated her 90th birthday.

Now a resident of Bayley and President of the Bayley Residents’ Council, she was a devoted teacher and principal at St. Ignatius for a total of 44 years. Her wit, community spirit and dedication are unsurpassed.

Over one hundred guests gathered to celebrate Mary Lee’s birthday at Bayley earlier in July, including her family, Bayley staff and residents, public fi gures, fi rst responders, and friends.

Attendees shared memories of time spent with her, and of her kind and giving nature.

Congratulations, Miss Mary Lee! Bayley is a continuum of care nonprofi t organization founded by the Sisters of Charity.

Located on the west side of Cincinnati, Bayley off ers wellness programs and living options for Cincinnati seniors.

Construction professionals unite to volunteer at summer camp for youth with disabilities On Aug. 9, 33 professionals from 13 agencies united to volunteer at Stepping Stones’ summer day camp in Indian Hill. The nine-week program serves children and teens with disabilities.

“Construction Come Together Day” was organized by Allied Construction Industries and Jostin Construction Co. The seventh annual event allows administrative and fi nance professionals to step away from their offi ce routines to join campers in fi shing, music and art activities.

“I’ve been in a very active group,” said Tyler Edsall, a fi nance analyst at Messer Construction. “It’s been a really great experience getting to know all the campers and hearing about what they

enjoy doing. I’ve been hanging out a lot with Cameron and Thomas and it’s been fun talking to them about their favorite movies. They also really loved visiting the pool!”

Some of the professionals turned the volunteer day into a family bonding experience. Nathaniel Duesing, an eighth grade student at St. Antoninus, joined his mom, Kathleen Duesing of Turner Construction, in volunteering before he headed back to school.

“The environment here is super friendly,” he said while comparing Stepping Stones to other camps he has attended. “All of the staff are encouraging.”

Chris Bongen has volunteered at the Construction Come Together event since 2016. “For us, this day is such a break from the normal,” she said. “You really forget everything on the outside and get entirely immersed in an environment that’s so positive and accepting.”

Jaime Burch sponsored made the day even more special by sponsoring gift bags fi lled with assorted small toys. Rob Lopez and Lance Clayton personally assembled the 200 bags and said, “it was great to see how excited the campers were to receive a gift that was just for them!”

Camp volunteers participated from ACI; Fusion Safety Solutions; The Hartford; Hylant Group; Jostin Construction; Liberty Mutual Surety; Lithko Contracting; Logan Lavelle Hunt; Messer Construction; RJE Business Interiors; Roehr Agency; Turner Construction and VonLehman & Company, Inc. Stepping Stones was founded in 1963 as the region’s fi rst summer camp for individuals with disabilities. The nonprofi t, United Way partner agency serves more than 1,000 participants annually in a variety of year-round programs.
